When a driver presses down on a brake pedal, a vehicle should slow or come to a stop. Various brake parts contribute to the process, and the brake pads play an essential role. These parts provide the necessary pressure and friction to support the braking process.
"Support" means brake pads don't work on their own. They clamp down on the rotors, which then slow down the spinning wheels. Brake pads rely on the cylinder, brake fluid, brake lines, and calipers to do their job, too.
Since brake pads create friction, they can't avoid suffering from wear. Driving around Latrobe on worn brake pads might prove dangerous. Steps on the pedal and hearing strange sounds could be a warning that the brakes need work. Other issues, such as the pedal going all the way to the floor, might raise alarms.
